A couple of little bits done recently on the car.
I fitted a Skunk racing gearknob which I got from a mate
I find it difficult to describe how it changes the feel of the gear change, just a bit more solid and feels like the final piece of the jigsaw as I already have the Tegiwa shortshift kit and the hybrid racing bushes at the gearbox end.
I then finally fitted my new tyres after getting about 12000 miles out of the conti sport 5s I will be interested to see how the Goodyears do. First impressions aren't great as there seems to be a lot of flex (could I just be imagining it? Could it be coming from barely legal tyres to deep tread that does it?) But I haven't had a chance to push them much yet. I will likely be using up the contis at the trackday in June and saving these for the road I think.
Oh yes, the new tyres are wrapped around some freshly painted wheels now which look flipping awesome IMHO
Thanks once again to my awesome mate Stu who prepped and sprayed these wheels with the tyres on, and he had the scabbiest set of wheels ever to start with!
Apologies for shoddy phone pics and dirty car, but I only washed it tonight and it was dark by the time I finished. I will try and get a nice picture tomorrow
